| WAsH1NGl on, Dec 6 -There is going
| to De q lively meeting Of the Saxon and
the Celt in this CITY about tae middle OF
| December: ST lasst so the Cats say.
The organized Irishman OF Washington
are holding committee meetings every
night now 90 arrange for & grand rtCsp-
| ton TO Sir Grattan Esmonde and arthur
O'Conn0r. the two Irish members of the
! English Parliament who are now in tlis
country as Irish ambassadors from the
people st home to their kin or this side
/ OF the water.
| TIE main interest in the coming Of
! O'Copnor and L smOnde 90 the American
capital - this time Iq thst Chamberlain,
| the great English Radical whom the irish
row regard as their bitteres5 foe, is here
| too.
| He hiss extensive apartments at the
Arlington hotel Ia other circumstances
| the Arlington is probably the last hotel in
! the city where the Iri>hmen OF Washing
| ton would think OF quarterlng the Irish
| am bsssa0OTs, but as Chamberlain Is
there now, there the irish ambassadors
are to so wen storm bis CITADEL" said
q leading Irishman, speaking on this sub
| iect o-night, "If be had the whole British
army for d body guard" This was an
sIlusion to the four private detectives
VINO guard Mr. Chamberlain at
his hotel and wherever he goes. The
proprietor o. the hotel is in q qusndarY.
With Chamberlain Offering to engage
every vacant room in the house for him
self 20 shut the Irish ambassadors our,
and With the Irishmen Of this city threat
ening vengeance on the head of the hotel
man If accommodations are not provided
for their friends, he finds il hard 10
decide. Wh.tever his decision may be
there is bound 10 be fun. Tue Irish are
determined TO prove tn8t the Irsn smhas-
sailors haye the right of way in Americas
capital in preference to The anti-Irish
British ambassador. Even If the propfie-
tor Of the Arlington should run the risk
attached TO excluding the new corners
from his place aud il the English and the
Irish ambassadors should thus be kept
apart, nj will not be peace at the Airing
ton. The Iris2 are determined to parade
!, the city in torch light procession, to erect
platforms in the large oper square IN
: front OF the Arlington, and from these
platforms to den unce Chamberlain and
sill the Liberal Unionists who have OPP
posed Mr.. GladstOpe's measures Of
home rule for Irslsnd When that demon
station occurs it will take very large
force of police to protect the Motel, ana the
four PtukertOn men will have psetty
one Gus ask u fulfill in protectisg the
person OF the r.. Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain. The Irish here look upon it as g
patriotic duty they have 10 perform 70
shOW that Chamberlain, the enemy cf
Irish freedom, is not welcome 10 4the
capital Of the American republic. 1T ia
whispered that MIR. Characteristic will
make point of taking 6 short tf:p and
being out Of tOwD at whatever fine NAV
be fixed for the Irish DEMONSTRATION, g. =
though the hotel proprietors SDd those
who are associated with Mr.. Chamberlain
in the fisheries commission scout the
idea.
Pjnkerton has been asked to send I'll
additional force Of private detectives to
watch the British legation here. 1t is
not kooWn that any threats Of personal
violence have been made, but then ;here
is no telling what the excitement of such
demonstration might lead to; and from
the watchiulness Of the Britishers, it is
plain that they are apprehensiv~. Up 20
the present Mr.. Chnmberlain's body
guard has seemed supeIfluous, but things
are assuming another aspect now.
The new EBvoy Extraordinary GEd
Minister PienipOtentiarY who was sp-
pointed few months ago to represent
this government At the cspital Of the
black republic Of Liberia has returned
already, apparently with the intention Ct
/; never going back if he csn help IT, His
name is Colonel Taylor of Kansas City
He is young colOred man, little ever
! b;r-U Ha TT
and jolly.
Your correspondent met Colonel Tay-
l0r this afternoon Just &s be was leaving
the White House.
s'Weu how do you ike Liberis?" the
/. correspondents asked. The first part CT
the minister's answer was great laugh,
loud and long and wild. He reared and
; he shrjeked and he screamed in his laugh
ter. "Liberia," be said, "Was sight for
gods and men. Co." said he, ''over to
the State Department epd see report Of
Il5 pages tEAt 1 hsve inst left there about
Ltberis. Il beats anything that Mark
: Twain ever wrote or could write without
, going 10 Liberia" Then the min
istsr laughed violently again !;
and when he recovered him
self he said there wasn't horse or 4 cow
or mule or shy civilized animal in the
whole republic of Liberla; not a car or
I cart or wheel conveyance of any kind
"Why," said be, they are not far enough
e0yanced in the industrial arts. This
government owes me SlC0 600 for send
ing me cut there" Then Re explained
that re had 0b.siled = two months leave
k0f absence and would not know exactly
,Thow he felt about going back to Liberia
until the vsCado3 was over. "But,
a. the end Of the two months" he tx
planned with g wink al will probably
agree unanimously that Liberia does not
agree with ne. Bef.re Invent 10 Liberis, -
said he, ~ was perfect crank On the
sui isct OF sehding ali the negroes in
America back to Africa to IN free repub-
lie of Liberia. But I have changed my
mind IN regard to it. No more Liberia
for me. America think is good enough
for the negro, and it deyolves
upon the negro race to make them
